Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an application of an MdGATA15 gene in regulating the synthesis of anthocyanins in apple under high temperature. Background Art

[0002] Apple, as an important economic fruit tree, is widely planted around the world. China, as a major apple producing country, accounts for about 50% of the world's cultivated area and output.

[0003] Anthocyanins, as an important secondary metabolite, are widely involved in various life activities of plants, including defense or attraction of insects, resistance to invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, promotion of seed dispersal and plant reproduction. Anthocyanins make the flowers and fruits of plants present rich colors, and color is an important sensory quality of apples, affecting consumer preferences and market competitiveness of commodities.

[0004] In recent years, with global warming, high temperatures have occurred frequently and their impact has become increasingly serious. In the apple production process, rising temperatures will seriously inhibit the coloring process of apples. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis of the response of apple coloring molecular mechanism to high temperature is the key to solving the problem of apple color quality decline caused by global warming, and it will help us develop high temperature resistant varieties, optimize agricultural management measures, and formulate strategies to cope with global warming to ensure the stability of apple color quality. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the quality of apples and solve the problem of apple quality deterioration under high temperature by exploring the molecular basis of apple coloring and regulating the synthesis of anthocyanins.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention provides an application of an MdGATA15 gene in regulating the synthesis of anthocyanins in apple. The nucleotide sequence of the MdGATA15 is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0008] Preferably, the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the MdGATA15 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0009] Preferably, the method for regulating the synthesis of anthocyanins in apple by the MdGATA15 gene is to increase the synthesis amount of anthocyanins by knocking out the MdGATA15 gene, and to reduce the synthesis amount of anthocyanins by overexpressing the MdGATA15 gene.

[0010] The present invention also provides an application of the MdGATA15 gene in regulating the synthesis of anthocyanins in apple under high temperature.

[0011] Preferably, the high temperature is 30°C to 40°C.

[0012] The present invention uses the cDNA obtained by reverse transcription of total RNA extracted from the callus of 'Wanglin' ​​apple as a template for PCR amplification. A new GATA transcription factor related to anthocyanin synthesis under high temperature in apple was cloned. Through Blast comparison analysis with related transcription factors in Arabidopsis, it was found that MdGATA15 was evolutionarily conservative and belonged to the B-type GATA factor. MdGATA15 was connected to an expression vector containing the strong promoter of CaMV35S using enzyme cutting and ligation technology. The MdGATA15 gene was overexpressed in callus tissue, and it was found that the anthocyanin content in the callus tissue overexpressing the MdGATA15 gene was reduced, and the expression level of anthocyanin synthesis-related genes was reduced. It was found that the expression level of MdGATA15 was significantly induced by high temperature in 'Otome' apples treated with high temperature. It shows that MdGATA15 can inhibit the accumulation of anthocyanins in response to high temperature signals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0083] 3. Transformation of apple callus using Agrobacterium tumefaciens:

[0084] The callus tissue of the 'Zi 3' red flesh apple and the callus tissue of the 'Wang Lin' apple were used. The callus tissue of the 'Zi 3' red flesh apple was cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 25°C under light conditions (intensity of 15000 lux), and the callus tissue of the 'Wang Lin' apple was cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 25°C under dark conditions. After the callus tissue was subcultured for 15 days, it was used for Agrobacterium transformation. The day before transformation, Agrobacterium was activated. 20 μL of Agrobacterium containing MdGATA15 overexpression and CRISPR / Cas9 vector was taken for activation (shaking overnight at 28°C), and 800 μL of the activated bacterial solution was added to 50 mL of YEP culture medium containing rifampicin (50 mg / L) and kanamycin (50 mg / L) and cultured to an OD value of 0.8. The cells were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 8 min at room temperature, and the cells were collected and washed once with 30 mL of ddH2O. Finally, the OD value of the infection night (30 mL ddH2O + 30 μL 100 mM acetosyringone) was adjusted to 0.8, and 30 μL 100mM acetosyringone, immerse the callus in the impregnation solution, shake at 150rpm for 30min at room temperature, then dry the infected callus with sterile filter paper and culture it in MS medium, culture it in the dark at 25℃ for 48h, take out the callus and grow it in the selection medium containing 50mg / L kanamycin and 250mg / L carboxybenzene penicillin. The above steps are completed in a clean bench.

[0085] 4. Screening and identification of transgenic callus

[0086] PCR, RT-qPCR, western blotting and next-generation sequencing were used to identify the callus tissues grown in the screening medium. Three positive overexpression transgenic callus tissues (GATA15-OE-1 / 2 / 3) and three positive knockout transgenic callus tissues (GATA15-Cas9-2 / 3 / 6) were obtained. The obtained transgenic callus tissues were subcultured to observe the changes in the anthocyanin content of the transgenic callus tissues. The results are as follows: Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the anthocyanin content in the callus tissue overexpressing the MdGATA15 gene decreased, the expression level of the MdGATA15 gene increased, and the expression level of anthocyanin synthesis-related genes decreased; the anthocyanin content in the callus tissue knocked out the MdGATA15 gene increased, the expression level of the MdGATA15 gene decreased, and the expression level of anthocyanin synthesis-related genes increased. It can be seen that the expression of the MdGATA15 gene inhibits the expression of anthocyanin synthesis-related genes, thereby reducing the anthocyanin content.

[0087] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
